Message	but the money he is spending on the DIY tail lights is not really that much compared to buying a set of wheels just to have somethign then buying the ones you really want. He probably spent about 20-30 bucks making the DIY tail lights and about 2 hours of work. Not a big deal if the lights get replaced later on but if it was something expensive like wheels or exhaust it would be stupid to buy something just for now so that you can get what you want later on.
